A phlog turned into a blog
==========================

Some people have their phlog as a stripped-down version  of their blog
or gemini log.  Jirka is doing the exact opposite: his phlog posts are
converted into  a blog[1].  I know,  because I wrote  the script  that
synchronizes and converts the plaintext content into LionWiki syntax.

I wanted  to do  the same thing  with my phlog,  but without LionWiki,
just with  a simple  Python script  to display phlog  text files  that
I upload every night from my primary server to a backup location[2].

So I did it.  The script does some parsing  of the content  to make at
least some of the links  clickable with link type recognition,  yet it
still has less than 12kB with all the HTML templates and a title image
in GIF format.

Here it is[3]. My phlog turned into a blog.  Simple, but working, with
no intentions to expand it beyond its current state.
